Now it's time for America's new favorite game: Hot Dogs or Legs? (single-serving Tumblr, with mustard and relish.)
Quickest way to figure these out is to just poke a stick through them and hold them over a fire.
or you could look at the other end.

"Girl legs are food" according to this document, therefore these are all hot dogs.

Hint: if there is kketchup on them, it is probably legs.

Slightly more palatable than the British version: "Corned beef or legs?"

Because only barbarians put ketchup on hot dogs.

I thought that was implied but I forgot that not everybody knows I'm not a barbarian.

The only acceptable accompaniment for these would be foie gras face.

What's sad about this is if you had hotdog legs you could never own a dog.

Ok, I'll bite. Why is ketchup a kid condiment? It's sweet, tangy, with a rich texture that adds a lot to certain foods.

That's the problem, it adds too much. Ketchup drowns the flavor of everything in its overpowering sweetness.

I'm trying to find the humor in this, but it seems body-snarky to me. Hopefully someone asked the photo subjects' permission in the form of, "hey, can I swipe your picture so strangers can compare your skinny tan legs to hot dogs? Thanks!"

Cecil Adams has addressed this. Serious Eats has addressed this. And I saw something recently (a shiny Favorite to you if you find it) about how disappointing handmade restaurant ketchup often is: whenever the author tries some fresh ketchup, they inevitably are disappointed and find themselves just wanting a bottle of Heinz.

I love trying different mustards; I love mustards, in fact, but ketchup can be a damn fine thing, too.

I dunno, I started hating ketchup back around age 8 or so, so I don't think it's a food snobbery thing. Further evidence: I preferred French's mustard because I didn't know anything else even existed.
Ketchup is the Michael Bay of condiments. If you want some sweetness, add a little relish.

Don't get me wrong -- I realize that being snobbish about putting ketchup on hot dogs, which are, by definition, fucking disgusting, isn't necessarily something to be proud of.

I like mustard on my hot dogs just fine, especially a good brown mustard. My father used to make frankfurter sandwiches on rye with brown mustard and they are quite enjoyable to me that way. Yellow mustard is perfect on soft pretzels, brown mustard is terrific on hot dogs.
But when I visit Coney Island the first thing I do is go to Nathan's, order two hot dogs, and eat them both with ketchup. Because that's what I always got when I was little, and both the ritual and the taste have become an indelible part of the experience for me.
So there, ketchup/mustard partisans. SO THERE.

No, don't put ketchup on it. Ketchup will destroy any chance of your ever appreciating the refined elderflower-with-a-hint-of-cedar nose of your gourmet macerated porcine by-product.

What? You've never seen hot dogs with knees?
Or ankles?
or veins?
or tubes?
or brains?

It's hard to walk in 5/4.
People ask me where my cool comes from. I don't tell them that there are only 2 soundtracks to my gait. Theme from Shaft is one. Take 5 is the other.

Kids like ketchup because it's one of the few things they can control. Food tastes weird? Make it taste like ketchup.

No, I have kids. Kids (mine at least) like ketchup because it's tomatoes and sugar. French fries don't taste weird.
